MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERALL REVIEW:

 

In spite of the adverse market conditions prevailing in various businesses in which the Company operates, the overall performance of the Company during the year has marginally improved compared to that of the previous year. The global economic outlook remained uncertain and challenging with a growth of about three per cent in 2013. There were many reasons for this sluggishness including weak recovery in the US and Europe and a general economic slowdown in emerging economies like China and India.

 

During much of 2013-14, there was no turnaround in the domestic economy in either consumption or investment as was reflected by the downward trend in both the capital and consumer goods segments. The high borrowing cost to combat inflation, coupled with lower consumption, low investment in infrastructure and other sectors of the economy were responsible for this, although agriculture and allied businesses had shown some improvement. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were record buyers of Indian debt instruments in the quarter ended March 2014, reflecting increased confidence in India’s long-term economic prospects although growth is yet to show any definite signs of emerging from a slump. The Rupee has recently strengthened against the US Dollar which might adversely affect exports from India.

 

It is expected that the economy should grow in the coming years and the demand for and prices of cement, paper and textile products should improve which will enable the Company to regain steady or better performance.

 

The circumstances prevailing in each of the business segments of the Company and their operations are separately discussed hereunder.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT – TEXTILES (COTTON FABRICS, DENIM CLOTH, YARN, VISCOSE FILAMENT YARN AND TYRE YARN)

 

COTTON TEXTILES, YARN AND DENIM:

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

Raw material costs have been increasing globally, coupled with a shortage of skilled workers. While a shift is taking place of textiles industries from China and Bangladesh to India, the industrial climate in India has also become adverse due to regular increases in input costs. Any further appreciation of the Rupee will adversely affect exports from India. Though the spinning industry has fared somewhat better those with a presence in weaving, processing or even composite businesses are facing the heat due to increases in input cost without being able to pass on such higher costs to customers as the market is simply unable to absorb the same.

 

SEGMENTAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:

 

The financial performance of their textile unit known as ‘Birla Century’ has stabilized and is showing improvements including in capacity utilization. As a result, the sales at Birla Century have improved aided by increasing demand in the domestic and U.S. Markets. The demand for premium branded goods is healthier and they are concentrating on high priced premium goods. The performance of the yarn Division remained fairly stable. Since April, 2014, the yarn market is depressed but it is hoped that it should improve in the current year. The market for denim is depressed. They have, therefore, changed the product pattern based on cotton lycra denim fabric which is in demand and which customers have been seen to prefer in adverse market conditions. Considering the challenges that exist, the financial results of this division are satisfactory.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Their textile unit has in the current year found acceptance by major retail chain stores in the US for all the products which also has the added beneficial effects of strengthening the quality / design and innovations in the product. 2014- 2015 may see better performance in India and possibly a stronger performing world economy.

 

CENTURY RAYON – VISCOSE FILAMENT YARN (VFY) [POT SPUN YARN (PSY) AND CONTINUOUS SPUN YARN (CSY)] AND RAYON TYRE YARN.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

Demand for Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) declined after September 2013 leading to a continuous increase in inventories both at the unit and industry levels. Appreciation of the Rupee recently against the US Dollar has reduced landed cost of material from China thus putting additional pressure on the industry to re-adjust its prices. A demand-supply imbalance coupled with a subdued market for the fabric had also adversely impacted the consumption of VFY.

 

Consumption of PSY as well as CSY is gradually shifting from coarser denier to super fine deniers which invites increased imports from China. Available capacity in the industry to cater to the changing pattern of demand is inadequate and it is expected that imports will continue to dominate despite the levy of an anti-dumping duty.

 

New pollution control norms proposed to be introduced by the Government will increase the operating cost further. Consumption of Rayon Tyre Yarn, mainly used abroad as reinforcement material in Ultra High Performance (UHP) Passenger Car Tyres has grown both in Europe and Japan, and this helped the unit to increase capacity utilization to about 80%.

 

Chemical products had witnessed mixed fortunes as prices of Caustic Soda, CS2 and Hydrogen remained stable while those of Sulphuric Acid and Chlorine remained volatile thus adversely affecting the operating margins of the unit.

 

SEGMENTAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:

 

It is expected that the existing trend of excess supply affecting sales volumes as well as prices will continue for some time. Focused measures taken by the management to control cost of raw material, power and utilities have helped the unit to maintain its performance at a satisfactory level.

 

The recent strengthening of the Rupee against the U.S. Dollar and a simultaneous weakening of the Chinese Yuan would erode competitiveness of Indian viscose filament yarn producers in both Indian and global markets.

 

Capacity utilization in tyre cord is expected to be sustained at the level of 80% which has been achieved.

 

The market for their chemical products viz. Caustic Lye and Sulphuric Acid is expected to remain stable. However, sales of Carbon-di-sulphide may come under pressure due to additional capacities entering the market.

 

Demand for doubled and twisted yarn is now met by Chinese material and production from the unorganized sector. The unit is at advanced stage of introducing this product.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Due to augmentation of production, both in PSY and CSY to cater to the growing demand for super- fine denier and efforts undertaken by the unit in reducing the cost of raw material, power and other utilities, the performance of the unit ought to remain satisfactory. Increased capacity utilization would help to reduce cost and gain more orders.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT – CEMENT (CEMENT AND CLINKER)

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Indian cement industry has an installed capacity of about 360 million tonnes. The Industry grew by an average annual growth rate of 8.6% during the golden period of 3 years (2007-08 to 2009-10). With the withdrawal of stimulus packages coupled with a slowdown in construction activity, the average annual growth has come down to 6.3% during the last three years. During 2013-14, cement production in India was 255.63 million tonnes (248.23 million tonnes in 2012-13) witnessing a growth of 2.98%. GDP growth in the year 2013-14 is expected to come out at 4.5% to 5%. The multiplier of cement demand growth to GDP growth not only declined below one but also lost its relevance. Lower growth was due to several reasons – a prolonged monsoon, natural calamities (floods and cyclones) that hit many parts of India and poor demand due to high cost of borrowings, low investment in the infrastructure and commercial segments. Over the past few years, the Production capacity industry-wide has also increased substantially, thus resulting in a situation of over-capacity and consequently lowering capacity utilization. Demand is anticipated to revive gradually over 2014 and 2015 with the formation of a new government and recovery in industry generally and particularly in construction activity. The cement industry faced many intricate issues like -rising cost, non-availability of linkage coal, high interest rates and clearances under various statutes. An overall weak macro environment and ban on sand mining continued to be causes for worry.

 

SEGMENTAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:

 

During the year 2013-14, they have produced 81.67 lac tonnes of cement compared to 76.51 lac tonnes in the previous year, a growth of 6.74%. In line with the Company’s plans and practices, the focus on production of fly ash based cement was maintained. The production of blended cement constituted about 96% of the Company’s total cement production. Energy is one of the major costs of production in this industry. Continuous efforts are being made to increase productivity, control cost and improve quality. Costs of major raw materials-fly ash, power and fuel, freight and forwarding and packing bags have increased during the year.

 

The Company continues to develop and leverage its large and able network of stockists, dealers and retailers. Their reach and penetration helps the Company in core rural and semi-urban markets. This coupled with the strong brand equity and efficient channel management has significantly helped the Company to withstand severe competition in an over supplied market. 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The GDP growth is expected to remain soft in the first quarter of financial year 2014-15. It is expected that Indian economy will grow at around 5-6% during 2014-15 driven by India’s strong economic fundamentals, high saving and investment rates, rapid workforce growth, a quickly expanding middle class and the start of a shift from low productivity agriculture to high productivity manufacturing and accordingly cement demand and prices should show an improvement.

 

The mid-term outlook will possibly remain challenging though there are reasons to hope that growth will tend more towards 6% after 2014-15. It is expected that capacity utilization will improve gradually given the slowdown in capacity addition and gradual recovery of demand for cement. Economy reforms announcements including the much hoped for lowering of interest rates would boost sentiment and rejuvenate the economy.

 

The cement industry is looking for an up-cycle backed by an increase in rural consumption and recovery in infrastructure activity after a muted growth for last three years. Long term growth prospects for cement demand are favorable.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT –PULP AND PAPER (PULP, WRITING AND PRINTING PAPER, TISSUE PAPER AND MULTILAYER PACKAGING BOARD)

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

Century Pulp and Paper is the only unit that produces the complete range of paper and paper products whilst using all the possible raw material options i.e. wood, agro and recycle paper.

 

India’s paper industry is one of the oldest and core industrial manufacturing sectors with a bearing on socio-economic development, which has undergone a significant change during the last decade. The changing policy of the government has propelled this sector to integrated international markets. Further, apart from rising production and consumption, erstwhile import dependent India has achieved self-sufficiency and also has witnessed an increase in exports. The nature of India’s Paper industry has been considerably influenced by the changing policies of the government during the last three decades.

 

SEGMENTAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS:

 

Demand for paper products during the first half of 2013 - 14 was quite satisfactory and healthy. However from December 2013 onwards, demand started to contract and subsequently prices too came under pressure. In Q3 of last year, the industry has seen a price rise of around 7 - 8% which has helped recoup raw material costs to some extent. While raw material costs have been increasing, the selling prices could not be increased to offset entirely the rising costs which resulted in an adverse financial performance.

 

During 2013-14, Century Pulp and Paper has opened up 11 new markets for paper boards viz., Poland, Sri Lanka Greece, Italy, Russia, UK, Slovenia, Canada, Turkey, Ukraine and Iran.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

In the long term, the outlook for the industry is quite positive and encouraging.

4. Expansion of Manikgarh Cement Unit with an additional capacity of 2.80 Million Tonnes per annum has been completed and the unit has commenced production of cement during September, 2014

5. Ratios have been calculated as follows:

a. Debt-Equity Ratio = Debt / Net Worth [Debt is Long Term Borrowing (current and non-current portion) and

Short Term Borrowing],

b. Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest, Depreciation, Tax and Exceptional Items (EBITDA) / Interest Expense for the period + Principal repayment of Long Term Borrowings during the period,

c. Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Tax and Exceptional Items (EBITDA)

/ Interest Expense for the period.

6. In terms of the Shareholders approval obtained in the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting of the Company held on June 04, 2014, the Company issued and allotted 1,86,50.000 Preferential Warrants @ Rs.354.89 each as per

SEBI guidelines to Promoter Group, to be utilized to reduce debt of the Company. Warrant holders will be entitled to apply for and obtain one equity share of the face value of Rs.10/-fully paid up of the Company against each of such warrant. The Company received 25% of the issue price against each such warrant, which has been utilized for the said purpose.

7. In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2013, effective from 1st April, 2014, the Company has reassessed the remaining useful lives of its fixed assets. As a consequence of such reassessment, the charge for depreciation for the quarter and six month period is lower than the previously applied rates by Rs.324.700 Million and Rs.606.900 Million respectively, correspondingly the transitional impact of Rs.224.500 Million (net of deferred tax Rs.115.600 Million) has been deducted from retained earnings.

8. Previous period’s figures have been regrouped / recast wherever necessary.
